Toro 03530 Operator's Manual page 14

Before Operating
1. Hydraulic Tank Cap
3. Remove the dipstick from the filler neck and
wipe it with a clean cloth. Insert it into the filler
neck; then remove it and check the fluid level.
It should be within 6 mm (1/4 inch) of the mark
on the dipstick.
4. If the level is low, add fluid to raise the level to
the full mark.
5. Install the dipstick and cap onto the filler neck.
CHECK REAR AXLE LUBRI-
CANT
(Model 03531 only)
The rear axle has three separate reservoirs which use
SAE 80W-90 weight gear lube. Although the axle is
shipped with lubricant from the factory, check the
level before operating the machine.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove a check plug from each end of axle and
make sure the lubricant is up to bottom of the
hole. If the level is low, remove a mounting
bolt above each end plug and add enough lubri-
cant to bring the level up to the bottom of the
hole
(Fig. 7).
3. Remove the plug in the center of the axle and
check the level. If the level is low, add enough
lubricant to bring it up to the bottom of the hole
(Fig. 5).

CHECK REEL-TO-BEDKNIFE
CONTACT
Each day before operating, check the reel-to-bed-
knife contact, regardless of whether the quality of cut
has been acceptable. There must be light contact
across the full length of the reel and bedknife.
CHECK WHEEL NUT TORQUE
WARNING
Tighten the wheel nuts to 45-55 lbs after 1–4 hours
of operation and again after 10 hours of operation
and every 250 hours thereafter. Failure to maintain
correct torque could result in failure or loss of a
wheel, which may result in personal injury.
